Inner Dress for Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse the moment arrives when the old self shakes off appearances and asks how a new state can be worn without defilement. The coat is the worn identity; the washing of the feet is cleansing of thought. The question how shall I put it on becomes not about clothing but about occupying a fresh consciousness. You are the state you consciously inhabit. Do not search for external rules; imagine the inner self as pure, and the outer form will align. The verse reveals the law that you cannot clothe the new man with old attitudes; you must revise your assumption until it matches your desire. When you feel the I AM this immutable awareness imagine you are already dressed in a new coat of light, a state that respects integrity and sanctity. Your feet are unstained by remembered ruts; you move in a realm where purity is the natural condition. The answer is not measurement but reviving the inner vision until it feels real.
